Buy Freeze Dryers (Lyophilizers) in Nigeria.

Where can I buy freeze dryers in Nigeria?

Browse the Freeze Dryers (Lyophilizers) category. Franance currently assigns two benchtop models: the BIOBASE BK-FD18S and the Labconco FreeZone 700201010. Each listing link filters by brand, category and model text. The filters identify one expected product each; open the BIOBASE catalogue listing) or Labconco catalogue listing for its record.

A catalogue filter is a way to find a listed model, not an independent technical assessment. Confirm the exact manufacturer reference, temperature option, included accessories, regional electrical variant and installation requirements in the written quotation. If the sample format or batch size needs another chamber configuration, specify that before requesting a final offer. These two assignments do not represent every lyophilizer available in the market.

Which freeze dryers are currently listed?

The BIOBASE BK-FD18S is a laboratory freeze dryer with a standard chamber. BIOBASE's BK-FD18 series page lists 0.18 m² freeze-drying area for the standard-chamber model, a 23 L cold-trap capacity and cold-trap options at −56 °C or −80 °C. The product record notes the selected suffix and cold-trap temperature must be confirmed. BIOBASE also lists pumps and material trays among standard accessories on its page; because options and package details can vary by sales offer, ask Franance to itemise exactly what is included in the offered BK-FD18S package.

The Labconco product is FreeZone 2.5 L -50 °C benchtop freeze dryer, stainless-steel collector, North American 230 V standard-refrigerant configuration, catalogue number 700201010. Labconco lists a 2.5 L ice-holding capacity and says a compatible vacuum pump and drying accessory are required but not included with this reference. Its datasheet specifies a vacuum pump displacement of at least 98 L/min. The regional connection, pump match, tray dryer or glassware, and collector configuration must be checked against the intended workflow.

The category places both instruments in life science. Their shared category name does not mean the platforms offer the same collection capacity, accessories, chamber design or capabilities. Compare the specific model and package against the research protocol and site.

Buy BIOBASE BK-FD18S laboratory freeze dryer in Nigeria

The BK-FD18S is the standard-chamber BK-FD18 configuration in the product record. BIOBASE's series table associates the standard-chamber option with a 0.18 m² freeze-drying area and 23 L cold-trap capacity. It lists selectable −56 °C or −80 °C cold-trap temperatures for the series. Those are equipment configuration facts, not a guarantee that a particular sample can be processed at a given temperature or that a desired endpoint will be achieved.

BIOBASE's product page describes the BK-FD18S alongside other suffixes such as P, T and PT, with manifold and stoppering-chamber variants. The page identifies standard-chamber, manifold and stoppering versions as distinct product types. Therefore, confirm the exact suffix and physical configuration; do not infer that the S model includes a multiport manifold or vial stoppering just because those options appear on the same series page. If samples need ampoule or vial handling, describe container type and closure workflow and ask the manufacturer to confirm the required chamber and accessories.

The manufacturer page lists a standard −56 °C cold trap and vacuum-pump/accessory information, and it describes 110 V and 220 V single-phase supplies on the series page. The exact offered BK-FD18S variant may vary. Request a written configuration sheet identifying cold-trap temperature, pump model and displacement, oil mist or anti-reverse accessories, trays, manifolds, flask adapters, supply voltage and plug. Confirm whether any optional −80 °C version changes electrical load or package scope.

Buy Labconco FreeZone 2.5 L freeze dryer in Nigeria

Catalogue number 700201010 identifies Labconco's FreeZone 2.5 L -50 °C benchtop freeze dryer with stainless-steel collector and North American 230 V configuration. Labconco lists a 2.5 L ice holding capacity before defrosting. It is a compact benchtop system, but the overall setup includes the vacuum pump, connecting line and the drying chamber, glassware or accessory appropriate to the batch. These required accessories are not included in the standard reference according to the manufacturer datasheet.

Labconco specifies a compatible vacuum pump with at least 98 L/min displacement and 0.02 mBar ultimate pressure, with a fitting suitable for the 3/4-inch vacuum hose. Confirm the proposed pump's performance, electrical supply, connection, exhaust/oil management and suitability for the sample chemistry with the manufacturer. The accessories are not interchangeable by appearance; a manifold, tray dryer, glassware and stoppering system serve different sample arrangements and should be selected for the intended workflow.

The datasheet describes system monitoring, data logging and export options on the FreeZone family and lists the exact 700201010 configuration. Ask which software, sensors, alerts and data outputs are included in this catalogue number, and whether requested features require an option. The “North America, 230 V” specification needs review for the destination site: ask for the actual plug, frequency, current, circuit and any region-specific package before ordering in Nigeria.

How do chamber, manifold and sample format affect selection?

Start with the physical sample, not just batch volume. List the container type, outside dimensions, neck or port arrangement, closure, number of containers per run, expected fill volume and any tray or rack. For bulk drying, measure the tray area and maximum permissible layer depth supplied by the laboratory's process owner. For flasks or vials, count the positions and verify the matching manifold, adapters, chamber height and clearance. Do not estimate capacity solely from litres of collector or drying area.

A standard chamber, manifold arrangement and stoppering chamber are distinct accessories or configurations. A manifold can connect appropriate flasks through ports; a stoppering chamber supports a different container-closing workflow when the model is equipped for it. Neither option establishes that the product will preserve a sample, create a sterile package or produce a specified residual moisture. Confirm the exact chamber and hardware that are compatible with the selected instrument.

Batch planning should include sample pre-freezing, loading, condenser or collector readiness, pump-down, the planned drying phases, unloading, cleaning and defrost. Process duration varies with formulation, volume, geometry, starting temperature and the method. BIOBASE lists approximate times for series equipment, and Labconco provides application and process resources, but those examples are not validated cycle recommendations for your sample. The researcher or process owner must establish acceptance criteria and verify the method under the applicable quality system.

What collector temperature and capacity should I specify?

Collector temperature is one equipment property, not a full lyophilization method. BIOBASE lists the BK-FD18S family with −56 °C and −80 °C cold-trap options; Labconco's identified 700201010 reference has a −50 °C collector. A lower number alone does not mean the system is appropriate for every solvent or formulation. Ask the manufacturer to assess the vapor load and chemistry and confirm which collector, pump, seals and protective accessories are required.

Collector capacity is not the same as sample volume. Labconco's 2.5 L refers to ice-holding capacity before defrost, not a promise that any 2.5 L sample batch can be dried. BIOBASE lists a 23 L cold-trap capacity for the BK-FD18 series, while its published table separately lists drying area and model-specific load figures. Identify the measurement basis (collector ice capacity, sample tray area, or liquid loading) in the offer so unlike values are not compared as if they measured the same thing.

Explain whether the application involves aqueous samples, solvents, corrosive materials, sensitive compounds or biological material, and provide the safety data and process notes needed for the manufacturer to assess compatibility. Don't assume a material is safe for the pump or collector because it is routinely used in a freeze dryer. Ask about pump protection, exhaust handling, compatible seals, solvent traps and cleaning procedures for the exact substances.

How do freeze dryers differ from ULT freezers and cryogenic storage?

A freeze dryer or lyophilizer is processing equipment that removes frozen solvent under vacuum and collects vapor in a cold trap or condenser. A ULT freezer stores samples at a controlled low temperature; it does not perform vacuum drying. Cryogenic storage equipment holds material in a cryogenic environment, often using liquid nitrogen or its vapour phase depending on the container and system. These are separate equipment functions and catalogue categories.

Browse Franance's distinct ultra-low-temperature freezer category and cryogenic storage category when the requirement is storage. A lyophilization step can be part of a sample workflow, but it does not replace frozen or cryogenic storage where the approved method calls for it. Nor should freeze-drying be described as ensuring long-term stability or preserving biochemical properties for an unspecified sample. Those outcomes depend on the material, preparation, process, packaging, storage and evidence supporting that intended use.

Decide which stage your project needs: temporary storage, long-term storage, sample conditioning or vacuum freeze-drying. If the project includes more than one stage, specify each separately, including required temperature ranges, storage duration, transfer method, packaging and monitoring. This prevents an instrument from being selected for a task outside its purpose.

What process and validation questions belong in a quote?

The product supplier can clarify equipment characteristics, configuration and manufacturer support, but the lab owns the sample method and its acceptance criteria. Before asking for a quote, document the intended sample class, batch quantities, containers, pre-freezing approach, target output, moisture or other endpoint criteria, planned loading pattern, number of batches and whether the work is research-only or part of a regulated manufacturing process. Keep the process owner, quality lead and facilities contact involved where needed.

Ask whether the chosen model can support the planned sensors, data capture, vacuum control, chamber configuration, utilities and accessories. If process records are required, name the data format, retention, user access, audit requirements and how exported records should be handled. Ask what installation checks, operational qualification, training or service are available and whether they are supplied by the manufacturer, a local partner or another party. Request the scope and exclusions in writing.

Do not treat a manufacturer's product page, generic application note or product specification as validation of your sample process. A lab should plan suitable development, verification, documentation and change control for its own protocol. If intended for aseptic manufacture of health-care products, consult the quality/regulatory team about standards such as ISO 13408-3; that standard has a specific aseptic-processing scope and does not cover all physical or chemical objectives of lyophilization. The current ISO overview notes it addresses equipment, processes, programmes and procedures for control and validation of lyophilization as an aseptic process. It is not a blanket certification for these laboratory models or for research sample preservation.

What facility and utility details matter in Nigeria?

Provide the destination city and state, the room or laboratory type, installation floor and contact person. Measure the route from receiving to final placement, bench or floor footprint, working clearance, door width, ceiling height and access to service panels. Include the full configured footprint: freeze dryer, pump, collector, chamber or manifold, cables, hoses and drain access. For benchtop models, confirm the support table's load capacity, vibration and available workspace; keep pump and exhaust requirements in the plan.

Give the available electrical supply from a qualified site check: voltage, frequency, phase, current, socket or hard-wired connection, plug, earthing, breaker and backup supply. Labconco's exact catalogue number is a North American 230 V configuration and BIOBASE's series page lists certain 110 V or 220 V single-phase variants; neither statement guarantees that the shipped package matches the Nigerian site. Request an exact electrical schedule and approved regional variant.

Ask about heat rejection, room temperature and ventilation, ambient conditions, condenser defrost/drain, pump exhaust, solvent vapours, condensate disposal and any need for auxiliary cooling. These details depend on the specific equipment and sample chemistry. Use the model-specific installation manual, and have the facility engineer review electrical and room provisions before the order is final. Do not assume power conditioning, backup, installation, user training, local service or spare-parts support is included or available until the quote confirms it.

What should a freeze dryer quotation include in Nigeria?

Name the manufacturer, exact model and product reference: BIOBASE BK-FD18S with chosen cold-trap temperature, or Labconco 700201010. Include quantity, research workflow, sample type, container format, estimated batch load, required drying chamber/manifold, accessories, pump specification, collector requirements, data and record needs, and any requested manufacturer review or qualification support. If your method has solvent or corrosivity constraints, provide the relevant safety information to the supplier and request written compatibility confirmation.

Ask the quotation to separate main instrument, vacuum pump, pump oil, trap/filter, drying chamber, tray dryer, glassware, manifold, flasks, adapters, software and other accessories. Identify the electrical variant, plug, supply requirements, installation, commissioning, training, calibration/qualification scope, shipping, duties or taxes, warranty, maintenance and service terms as separate lines or explicit inclusions/exclusions. Ask for lead time and delivery scope for the actual Nigeria destination rather than relying on a product-family marketing page.

Franance uses a quote-order flow. Submit the model or configuration you want reviewed and the team will follow up by phone or email. The listing is not a checkout purchase, does not collect payment and does not reserve stock. A written quotation should identify the exact supplied configuration and the commercial terms before the facility approves the order.

Which manufacturer and standards sources support this guide?

BIOBASE's BK-FD18 series product page lists the BK-FD18S model family, standard chamber, drying area, cold-trap options, capacity and accessory information. Its model table includes separate P, T and PT variants; check which suffix and options are included in the offered unit. Labconco's 700201010 datasheet identifies the exact model, collector capacity and temperature, electrical configuration, pump requirements and excluded accessories. The FreeZone benchtop manual page identifies the catalogue-number series covered by its manual; confirm applicability to the supplied instrument revision.

Labconco's Introduction to Freeze Drying provides general process concepts; it is educational manufacturer material, not validation for a specific sample. ISO's ISO 13408-3:2006 overview says the standard addresses lyophilization as an aseptic process and does not address its physical/chemical objectives. ISO reports the standard was reviewed and confirmed in 2021. Apply it only when its health-care aseptic-process scope is relevant, not as a general research-laboratory or storage standard.

How do I request a lyophilizer quote order?

Open the BIOBASE BK-FD18S filter or Labconco FreeZone 700201010 filter, then review the matching product details. Send Franance the exact model, selected collector temperature, sample format and workflow, accessories and vacuum pump requirement, power/site information, quantity and delivery destination. Request written confirmation of package contents, configuration, technical assumptions and support scope.

If you are comparing systems, ask for separate offers with the same sample and site requirements so differences in pump, chamber, collector and accessories remain visible. Keep sample process validation, storage conditions and acceptance criteria with the laboratory's technical owner. Franance can coordinate a quotation; it cannot replace the experimental evidence or institutional approval needed to establish that a given method is suitable for your material.
